Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 222 The Battle of Chenliu ([-])

Seeing that Zhou Shi had already made his own judgment, the scribe also stopped talking.But in secret, he shook his head and sighed, feeling that neither Wei Jiu nor Zhou Shi were the masters.

Zhou Shi drove the horse back and personally urged the army to speed up the march, and the scholar and his brother were riding on the horse and talking together.

Seeing that Zhou Shi had already made his own judgment, the scribe also stopped talking.But in secret, he shook his head and sighed, feeling that neither Wei Jiu nor Zhou Shi were the masters.

Zhou Shi drove the horse back and personally urged the army to speed up the march, and the scholar and his brother were riding on the horse and talking together.

"Second brother, you are so reckless! How can you be so presumptuous in front of Xiangguo?" Zhou Shi's captain Chen Bo scolded his younger brother Chen Ping.

Chen Ping's brother was originally a small landlord who lived peacefully in his hometown, but when Chen Sheng rebelled and sent Zhou Shi to manage Weidi.Dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Qin State and the increasing tax burden year by year, he dissipated all his wealth and gathered thousands of soldiers to join the army of Zhou Shi who had just arrived in Weidi.

Since Chen Bo was among Zhou Shi's first batch of confidantes who entered Wei, after helping Wei Jiu to re-establish the country, Zhou Shi originally wanted Chen Bo to be a general.But Uncle Chen was not the kind of person who admired officials and honors, so he declined, and Zhou Shi had no choice but to promote him to the rank of Captain.

Because Zhou Shi consciously treated Uncle Chen badly, Chen Ping, who was just a small official in Daliang City, was transferred to the army to join the army.

"Brother, you should know that I am not a reckless person. Putting forward my thoughts in front of Xiangguo is just to test whether Zhou Xiangguo is a person who listens to advice." Chen Ping said to his brother with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Chen asked: "Then what do you think of Xiangguo after testing it?"

"Originally, I thought that Zhou Xiangguo would dare to help the current king of Wei to restore the country when he was under the command of King Chen. Big climate!" Chen Ping said to his elder brother very calmly.

"Second Brother! Xiangguo only wants to restore the country, but he will not rebel against Wei State. You think too much! We are not loyal to Xiangguo, but King Jiu of Wei!" Chen Bo listened and looked at himself who was good at strategy younger brother, with a smile on his brows.

"Brother! One's ambition is to assist one person and make him the master of the world! King Jiu of Wei is just a conservative master, but I don't want to assist such a master." Chen Ping looked at the smiling elder brother, I couldn't bear it in my heart, but I still expressed my ambition and my thoughts on Wei Wang.

Chen Ping, who had spoken out his aspirations, breathed a sigh of relief, but his brother Chen Bo was full of astonishment.

After a long time, Uncle Chen said: "Brother Ping, if you leave in the future, you don't need to tell my brother. But remember, once you settle down, you must contact your family! Let me, brother, be able to live up to my expectations when I go to see my parents in the future. Heart."

"En!" Knowing what Uncle Chen said, Chen Ping agreed that he could go out and venture out; he nodded with mixed feelings in his heart.

………………

Chen stay.

"Have you ever found out the real movement of the Qin army?" Deng Zong asked the scout who had just returned to report.

"General! It has been found out that most of the Qin army's soldiers and horses have been taken away by Zhang Han. They are heading for Daliang, and the Qin army staying in the camp outside the city is led by Chang Shi Sima Xin. Moreover, in the camp There are less than [-] soldiers and horses!" The scout said vowingly, clasping his hands.

"General Deng, if that's the case, our army should go out of the city to annihilate the Qin army outside the city first, so as to boost the morale of the soldiers inside the city!" Qi General Tian Jiao said to Deng Zong after listening to the scout's report. "Moreover, use this to attack Zhang Han who is heading towards Daliang. And make him take care of it, so as to give Zhou Xiangguo and our general Tian Heng time to intercept!"

"What General Tian said is right! The morale of the soldiers in the city is getting lower day by day. If we don't cheer it up with a big victory as soon as possible, it will definitely make the soldiers not fight with all their strength, and what's more, it will cause mutiny in the army! Uncle, please make a quick decision!" Deng Zong's nephew, Deng Shuo, seemed to have made an agreement with Tian Jiao, and after Tian Jiao stopped speaking, he got up and cupped his hands and said.

After finishing speaking, Deng said: "Uncle, don't forget that you are only a general now, while Chen Liushou is acting as a temporary substitute. The great general Wei Bao in the court looks down on people from poor backgrounds like us. If you can wipe out [-] people in one fell swoop The above enemy! We will be able to gain a foothold in the court of Wei State, and then we will have the help of the Prime Minister. Uncle you must be indispensable to the position of General Zuo!"

"Brother is right! Father, please make a quick decision!" Deng Su, the eldest son of Deng Zong, waved his hands to persuade him.

Looking at his nephew and eldest son, Deng Zong secretly sighed.He knew that his son and nephew had received bribes from Tian Jiao, and the amount was huge.He even knew that Tian Jiao needed military exploits to prove himself, that's why he was so keen on annihilating the Qin army outside the city after Zhang Han led the troops away.

"I don't care what the Qi army does, but all the Wei troops are not allowed to go out of the city to take the initiative to seek battle! Violators will be dealt with by military law!" Deng Zongsi said decisively after thinking about it.

Deng Zong's decision made Deng Shuo, who had originally thought about getting rich by annihilating the Qin army and getting promoted, a little sad.But Deng Zong was not only Wei Jun's chief general in Chenliu, but also his own uncle.In any case, Deng said it was impossible to refute.Therefore, after Deng Zong finished speaking, Deng Shuo and Deng Su followed all the generals of the Wei army in the hall and handed over their orders at the same time.

Seeing Deng Zong's reluctance to send troops, Tian Jiao snorted coldly, then cupped his hands and said, "Since that's the case! Don't blame the general for taking all the credit for himself! Farewell!"

Said, without waiting for Deng Zong to hand over, he led the Qi army generals in the hall out of the Chenliu county government office.

The big camp of the Qi army and the big tent of the Chinese army.

"General, since the old man Deng Zong is unwilling to send troops, why don't I send troops to wipe out the Qin army outside the city?" Tian Jiao's subordinate Captain Yanou cupped his hands and suggested to Tian Jiao after returning to the big tent.

"Although it's good! But in the future, it's hard to guarantee that the old man Deng Zong will go forward to slander in front of the general, saying that I don't obey his command. At that time, the success will fall short. Wouldn't it be a useless effort?" Although Tian Jiao was a little moved, he still held Say what you think.

"General! If you want to compete for the position of the former general in the court, you must have made great achievements. Otherwise, the king will not appoint you. After all, no matter whether it is Tianjia or Tian, ​​you are a brave warrior. And, like the general You are a descendant of the clan. You have no advantage at all! If you can annihilate the Qin army here, the general will look at you with admiration. The king who is far away in Linzi will definitely have a deep impact on his heart when he receives the news. So , when the king awards rewards after returning to the country, the general will be able to successfully win the post of former general!" Yan Ou said immediately after hearing Tian Jiao's words.

Why is Tian Jiao eager to prove himself?Except for the great general under King Geinqi's command, the four generals (front, rear, left, and right) have not yet been rewarded.Before sending out troops, Qi Wang Tian Dan said that whoever made the most contribution in this battle would be rewarded as the fourth general first.
